Koei's next fighter kicks into playable form, and we've got movies

By IGN Staff

Coming from Omega Team (the same crew who brought us last year's Dynasty Wars), Destrega marks the second fighting genre effort from strategy maven Koei. Lucky for would-be pugilists, a playable demo of the game has just recently landed in Japan.

Drawing obvious similarities to Dream Factory's Ehrgeiz, the game features multi-leveled gameplay within sprawling stages. Characters have a full 360&deg freedom of movement, and each possesses a number of projectile energy attacks for long-range assaults.

Gameplay particulars aside, Destrega stands to deliver dutifully in the visuals department; the game is replete with high-quality textures and a 60fps framerate. Whether it can contend with the likes of Tekken 3 remains to be seen. Judge for yourself in the included movies.

Destrega remains on schedule for fall release in Japan, and is currently penciled in for a January 1999 arrival in the States.
